[lug] PHP3, MySQL and Debian?

[Nate Duehr]

I found it.  In the debian packages, you have to load mysql support as a
module.  

Using :

dl("mysql.so");

In the script will cause it to work... or you can instruct Apache to
load the module ahead of time.

I felt silly when I figured this out.  Oh well, live and learn.
